Abstract: The first tetralogy of William Shakespeare is comprised of Henry Ⅵ (Part One, Two and Three) and Richard Ⅲ, the former of which is characterized by fourteen dramatic monologues in Shakespearean symbolic style. These meditation soliloquies contribute greatly to the development of the plot, shaping of the character, creation of the atmosphere and presentation of the theme. From the perspective of modern individual psychology, based on the misjudgment of “compensation” and the absence of “drive”, this paper reexamines those meditation soliloquies in Henry Ⅵ so as to explore the complex inner world of the weak and cowardly king and to illustrate the cause of his death and fall of the Lancaster ruling house. Therefore, an individual psychological interpretation of Shakespeares classic dramatic monologue is presented, and an individual psychological insight into selfunderstanding and selfimprovement for the ordinary person in modern society is proposed.

Key words: compensation; drive; Henry Ⅵ; dramatic monologue; individual psychology

摘要: 《亨利六世》(上、中、下)和《理查三世》共同构成莎士比亚第一历史四联剧。《亨利六世》共包括十四段沉思型戏剧独白,对推动情节、塑造人物、渲染气氛和烘托主题作用巨大,具有鲜明的莎士比亚戏剧风格。从现代个体心理学角度重新审视《亨利六世》中的沉思型系列独白,以“补偿”误判与“驱力”缺席为两大基准内因,揭示这位治国无能的昏聩君王怯懦外表下复杂而多层的内心世界,剖析他作为兰卡斯特王朝末代君王因自身的卑怯软弱,导致个人身死、王朝覆灭的原因,既可为莎士比亚的经典戏剧独白贡献一份个体心理学阐释,也可为现代人提供进一步认识自我和完善自我的心理学启示。
